Apple is continuing its rapid-fire releases of Mac OS X 10.6.5 builds to the developer community, pushing out Build 10H568 as we head into the Halloween weekend. According to those familiar with the new build, this latest version continues to contain no documented known issues and Apple requests that developers focus their testing on the same set of areas as in the last several builds: 3D Graphics, Printing, QuickTime, Time Machine, and USB Devices.

The previous build of Mac OS X 10.6.5 was seeded on Monday, with that build coming only four days after its predecessor. Apple appears to be continuing with daily internal builds of Mac OS X 10.6.5, as the new version offers an increment of five builds since Monday's developer release.

It appears that Apple may be racing to put the final touches on Mac OS X 10.6.5 for a release in the near future to support iOS 4.2, which itself is due for release sometime in November. In a rather unusual move, Apple has been providing registered iOS developers with access to select Mac OS X 10.6.5 developer builds alongside iOS 4.2 builds, as the updated Mac operating system is required to support the AirPrint feature coming to iOS devices with iOS 4.2.

I'm surprised Apple still cares about QuickTime. Who uses it anyways?

Just about every day.
 
Leopard?

What about those of us on 10.5.x? Will we be able to update our devices to iOS 4.2?

Quicktime is great software. It has it's issues, but what software doesn't. I have Pro version and it has tons of handy features. I use it for everyhing from video playback to exporting to othert formats and so on.
 
What? AirPrint? You mean Apple hasn't deprecated printers yet?

I'm betting that apple will someday stop supporting printers in general, but at the moment, too many people don't have an option to use anything but a printer to get things done. Many things are electronic now, and more things are going electronic all the time.
 
I hope there's a significant gap between the release of OS X 10.6.5 and iOS 4.2. I'd like to develop for the iOS beta but I'm not keen on installing a beta version of OS X.

Well... the majority of professional video editors with the Quicktime Prores codecs and everyone using iTunes. I would say that is a pretty big market. Not to mention that the QuickTime framework plays all media on the Mac, not just media with the QuickTime wrapper.

Your SR Macbook will run much better with SL.

As of printing in iOS 4.2, will it be available to the iPhone 3G too?
